Thru the cooperation and help of the various other organizations, not able among which are the Gemmell Club, the American Legion and In particular, the Town Board of Trus-tees, it has been possible to put en a number of worth while projects of community life and partleularlv in the Interest of the children o! the camp. Among these the outstanding piece of work has been the construc-tion of the lodge In Butterfield can-yon, which will be opened tonight and dedicated to the use of the boy and girls of Binghnm. The financing of this was taken care of by the unemployment fund and donations of materials, sup-plies and services by the varlom mining companies and merchants. Thru the determined efforts of Mr. H. C. McShane, Mr. Paul Ransom and Mr. George Enrl, who planned and supervised the construction work a very fine building has been erected on one of the most beauti-ful canyon sites Jn the state. Tonight marks the opening of this camp and Kiwanls members and their ladles are entertaining , the Boy and Girl Scouts, their par-ent- s and the various troop councils In a picnic luncheon and jamboree. There will be a big bon fire and songs. ! Miss Emily Lynch of the Girl Scout organization and Mr. Lou Roberts of the Boy Scouts will ' be the sneakers. ' --a Conspiracy Trial Ends In Acquital Trial of the conspiracy charges against three former deputy sher-I- f fa of Bingham, J. It. Mclntyre, Orone Timothy and Emmett Ad-ams, was ended in Federal Court Ogden Wednesday. Indictments were returned against these men by the Grand Jury two weeks ago. Trial was scheduled for the fall term of court, but the men preferred to proceed with the hearing at the earliest possible date. A motion for the early trial was granted and the lease was being heard before Fed-eral Judge Tillman D. Johnson. Tiie Government pressed the charges against the former depu-ties with extreme vigor, Special In-vestigators and prosecuting attor-ney from the Department of Jus-tice at Washington, D. O. were pre-senting the case. A large force of undercover men from the Prohibi-tion Department has been working for the past seven months it is re-ported In an effort to trace charges broadcast against the former sher-iffs vadmlnlstration during the last county campaign. These efforts have resulted In the Indictment of George Smith, former deputy, ho was tried and acquitted lust month. In addition to the three acquitted Seventeen witnesses were served with summons at Bingham and Highland Boy, on Monday, to ap-pear for the Government as witnes-ses at the trial. Judge Ray H. Ken-ne- r was directed to appear with the Justice Court dockets and re-cords. Other witnesses Include a large number of men, women and children, mainly foreigners, includ-ing a number of reputed "'Moon-shiners and Doot lexers," of High-land Bay. - , Bingham Canyon's New Postofrice! .It Is expected arrangements will soon be completed for commence-ment of Bingham's new Post Of-- I flee. A department representative visited Bingham last week to make a survey and recheck of the site on Main street known as the golf course, which site had previously been recommended for the Federal building. Some concession has been made s in the price of this land which we understand, is satisfactory to the Government, coming within lt'g'estl-- . mates. A movement was under way to raise money among the business men to make up the difference be-tween the original bid and the price the inspector was willing to recom-mend. Tills plan was abandoned however, when the owner, Miss Ruth Bourgard objected to such a plan and generously agreed to re- - i duce the price. This action Is great- - j ly appreciated by the people of I , Bingham who realize the new bulld-- ing will be a substantial asset to m the community, 'l It is stated, Utah architects will I be employed to make plans and draw specifications for the bulld- - ing. This action will be taken as soon as recommendations on the site have been approved. !W In an Interview, last week, Sen-ator Smoot, assured Postmaster Barnard, everything possible would done to faclllate the early ibe and completion of the Federal building for Bingham, Ferry To Ad-dress Shippers One of the most serious contri-butions to the local and national depression in trade is attlrbuted by many executlees of Industry, In the United States, to the demonetiza-tion of silver, the world over. This subject is being studied vig-orously by leading Solons every-where, It Is especially Interesting to people of the Inter-Mounta- ter-ritory of the United States because of the vast investments in idle min-ing properties and the impaired purchasing power of communities largely dependent upon pay-roll- s from metill mines, smelters and! their I Recognizing this fact, the Cen-tral Western Shippers' Advisory Board, composed of executives from practically every Industry of conse-quence In the states of Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, and Wyo-ming, have prevailed upon Mr. W. Mont Ferry, president of the Amer- - lean Silver Producers' Association, an International organization, In-cluding producers in Canada, Mex-ico, Central and South America, to address their meeting on the sub-ject, "The Sliver Problem as an Economie Factor in World Busi-ness." Mr. Ferry will appear on the program of the Board at 11 :30 n. m., June 23rd, In the ball room of the hotel Bigelow, Ogden, Utah.

Falrweather, Henry Edgar, Mlchal Sweeney, Barney Hughes, Thomas W. Cover and Harry Rodgers, dis-covered gold in Alder Gulch in what ls now Montana. The mining dis-trict was named "fairweather" In honor of the leading discoverer. Alder Gulch produced over one hun-dred million dollars In gold, and, when its size aiid $&ductlan are taken into consideration, it ranks as the world's' richest placer (jfrounds. Montana territory was created by an act of Congress on May 2(1, 1804, exactly one year after the discovery of gold ; the bill was approved; by Abraham Lincoln. The discovery of gold in large quan-tities at a time when It was needed to carry on the war was providen-tial for (Lincoln and the Unionists. It will be noted that the discovery of gold in Montana antedated the beginning of mining In Bingham Canyon by a few months. Both Montana, and Utah have ad-ded Immensely to the mineral wealth of the nation but the early histories of the two states are en-tirely different ?; When ore was discovered in Blng-- J ham Canyon fti 18(13, the govern-ment, established by the Mormons sixteen years prior to that time, was reorganized and in force thru-ou- t the territory.

Construction of the new Bingham High School at Copperton will make the former high school building available for grade school purposes ned relieve the crowded condition. It is planned to make a play-ground for the grade school, on the site of the old building. Heretofore no space for this purpose has beeen available at the Bingham school.!

The win-- 1 ncrs of the last two periods will fight it out among themselves to ' declde.whpltwjUlplaj JPJwealx or ; the seasonal championship.

ACTIVITY What remained of thft Roynl j Candv comminv huildlnz Mmmt . the fire of May Cth, has been torn down and work commenced on re-construction. The new building Is to be of brick and concrete con-struction, according to M. Pitcheos owner of the property and will Imj more substantial and attractive than the frame building which was destroyed by fire. Workmen also are busy on the re-construction of the Copper King building, damaged by the same fire. A concrete wall will divide the buildings and a new roof will be put on the Copper King. Work on the building will be car-ried on as rupldly as possible. Plans are being drawn for a new building to be erected on the old Oxford site, next to the First Na-tional bank building. While pluns are being made the basement and foundation will be put In, says Mr. Bolognese, owner of the property, find work on the building should be under way about August 1st, This building will be of brick and con-crete, two stories In height.' The first floor- will be for mercantile purposes with offices on the second floor. WHAT IS NEXT? Mixing of races, prime need for advancement, says Dr. Franz Boas of so and so, who claims to be president of the American Associa-tion for the Advancement of Sci- - ence. He cites Spain as an example1 of greatness resulting from mixing of the races, according to accounts, suggesting the intermingling of the whites, negroes, Indians, Mexicans, Phllllppinos, Chines, and Japanese. What next? If the theory (science or what) of this titled individual with the emigrants name is correct, no bolder assertion would be neces-sary to suggest amalgamation of all living creatures. Even among domestic animals, purebred stock Is superior In every way to the mixed mongrel. Take the horse for example, the mettle, spirit, fire and endurance In con-test, etc., Is usually outstanding features f the thoroughbred. Brick Work Finished On New High School Masonry was completed on the training shop, the last of the three buildings to bouse the departments at the new high school at Copper-ton- , the first of the week. The new plant which consists of the main building to house the classes, the large gymnasium and the shop pre-sent a most imposing appearance. With Its conspicuous location, mas-sive and beautiful designs of art trim, It will be one of the most at- - tiacttve and modern high school plants to lie found. The work of finishing the Inter-to- r of the buildings will he pushed in order that school can be opened thpre in September. Master and Bachlor Degree Conferred Otha Clyde Jones of Bingham re-ceived the degree of Master of Sci-ence in Metallurgy at the sixty-secon- d Annual Commencement at the University of Utah, Tuesday, June 9. He received his Bachelor of Sci-ence degre In 1930. 1m Verl Nell of Lark received the degree of Bachelor of Science in the School of Business. Hemajored in business. Degrees and certificates of grad-uation were given to 577 students, the largest number In the history of the University to graduate in one year. Bachelor of Arts and Bachel-or of Science degrees were award- - ed to 39(5 of these, Bachelor of laws to 20 and Master's degrees to 31. There were .102 two-ye- normal diplomas, one three-yea- r normal diploma, six junior high school di-plomas, 104 high school diplomas and 24 high school certificates granted to students in the School of Education. Twenty-eigh-t received two-yea- r medical certificates from the School of Medicine. Spain is about to siwnd a .large sum on her schools. As soon as a country gets rid of a decent mon-archy, Its first business seems to be to let In more light. There Is a connection between kingly rule ond illiteracy which Is entirely obvious, and renders the old "divine light" theory nil the more blasphemous. It seems all mortals must have something to worry about. Whether It Is the necessities of life, getting one's taxe.i paid or making a hole lu one; It's worry, Just the same. "HELLO DAD! TODAY'S YOUR DAY!" After a struggle of twenty-on- e years. Father's Day, which is June 21st this year, has attained its seni-ority. The idea of Father's Day was first suggested by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, Wash., in --910, and Congress recongnlzed the day four years later. It has beewji(one of the great national days of obser-vance, and more than 100,000 sons mid daughters now send telegrams of appreciation and congratulation to Dad each year, and hundreds of thousands of others who live at home show their love In other ways. In recognition of the fact that Father's Day has attained national observance, Western Union this year will deliver greetings on blanks liearlng a special, colorful design, to envelopes to match. In the past the adoption of special blanks for other special occasions has resulted In a substantial increase In popular approval of the telegraphic mehtod of sending greetings. Father's Day messages will receive the same im-- j mediate handling as regular tele-grams. In many instances greetings will be accompanied by Western Union Gift Orders, which Dad may convert into fishing tackle, golf or other sporting goods, tool sets, ar-ticles of clothing or anything else his heart may desire. Telegrams and cablegrams to Fathers are usually restrained in expression, but reveal affection just the same, whether they say : "To the Best Dad ever," or "Please ac-cept this Gift Order from me with all my love on Father's Day." The American Legion practices begun this week. The following will , be candidates for the two nines; John Predovlch, Ivor Pickering, Bob Cotter, James Byrnes, Mike Kokles Ping Murker,.

WESTERN MINES CARRY ON Courageous words were those of President Daniel C. Jackling, that the Utah Copper would never be closed barring only a calamity. The western mining industry is making a determined effort to work out its problems and keep up em-ployment to the best of Its ability. If legislators and tax assessors would do as much to lighten the tax load of this industry, laborers and investors would be benefited and en-couraged to the great advantage of the nation.
